THERE has been considerable anima-
ton on the racing course-Main street
the past week by the sleighers, but

acted both as judges and grand stand"
spectators.

or five inches to furnish so much and so
good sleighing as that which fell a

smooth and well beaten down to receive
the snow, the sleighing is not near so
good.
